Conduct a thorough daily pre start on excavators with this checklist. Verify cabin condition and controls, seat and belts, wipers, gauges, and interior safety gear. Inspect chassis components, boom and stick, pins and bushings. Check engine, cooling and exhaust, look for fluid leaks, and confirm drive train and hydraulics are operating. Review exterior panels and glass, mirrors and doors, test warning beacons, work lights, back up alarm, and emergency stops. Use this as a practical guide to improve safety, reduce downtime, and support compliance before operating.
